on no apologies

I remember in my old journals, if I didn't write for a period of a day or week or month, I would apologize to my journal for abandoning it, and then jump into my full-fledged account of whatever mildly tragic event had happened that day in my life. Usually the non-occurrence of a romantic moment with a non-significant other.

However, as my friend reminded me so kindly yesterday: "You are an amazing and grown-ass woman - so live it!" - so I've decided not to apologize for not writing in this blog for over a year. Seriously, who apologizes to a blog?

But, a lot of things have changed in a year that must be given a tribute: my grandma's heart attack and subsequent 4 month recovery period, getting laid off from my first (and only) corporate job, the experience of feeling unwanted while job hunting, moving back into my high school bedroom, with its blue sponge painted walls, shadow box with knick-knacks, and hot chai waiting downstairs. Whether I'm "grown-ass" quite yet, I can't be sure, but I'm definitely a different person than I was a year ago.

Anyways, I'm making the radical attempt to write every day, because I read recently that a blog "must be written in every day (or else)." So, there it is - my post for today. Not too bad :)
